RPAGF Chapter 108 Under the Dry Well
Chapter 108 Under the Dry Well
Behind the stone gate lies a large area.
The area was bustling with activity, and many luminous jade stones were scattered throughout, illuminating the entire underground space very brightly.
In the middle of the area are rows of houses of various sizes, all made of stone.
There was also a large area of land nearby, with some traces of cultivation.
This place looks like a temporary gathering place.
Mo Ming did not rush in, but first let Meng Ling know what was inside.
A few minutes later.
Only after confirming from Mengling's feedback that there was no danger did he feel relieved and went inside.
Once inside, Mo Ming had Xiong Da and Xiong Er check each room one by one, and they found that the facilities inside were very rudimentary.
Each room contains only a kang (heated brick bed), a table, and two chairs; there aren't even any cabinets.
This further confirms Mo Ming's guess that this place might really just be a temporary gathering place.
But what kind of people might gather there?
The natives of the misty world? The stone-like Moro aliens?
It didn't matter to Mo Ming who it was; what he cared about was whether there were any treasures in these ruins that would catch his eye.
But now it seems he was disappointed; it didn't work out.
"Let's go, let's get out!"
Mo Ming said something helplessly to the pets, then turned around and walked outside.
Suddenly, Mengling's cries caught his attention.
Mo Ming turned around and saw Meng Ling at the very back of the space, her whole body radiating blue light, and she seemed to be very excited.
He knew that whenever his pets showed this kind of emotion, it meant they had discovered something extraordinary.
So, Mo Ming disregarded everything else and ran wildly to Meng Ling's side.
All Mengling saw in front of her was a pile of rubble. She had seen it before, but hadn't paid it any attention, assuming it was just a pile of stones.
But judging from Mengling's reaction now, there seems to be something strange about this pile of stones.
"Big Bear and Little Bear, get to work!"
At this moment, Meng Ling's size became very small, so the two brothers still had to do this kind of heavy work.
Soon, the pile of stones was moved, and a well opening appeared before Mo Mingde's eyes.
Mo Ming originally thought it would be some props or weapons, but it turned out to be just a dry well.
"Mengling, is there anything special about this dry well?"
Mengling told him that there was a faint fluctuation of spiritual energy emanating from the bottom of the well.
Spiritual power?
Mo Ming scratched his head. The Spirit Dream Whale clan has a very keen sense of energy, so it shouldn't be wrong.
But why is there a fluctuation of spiritual energy here?
Could there be some kind of monster sealed in this well?
Or maybe there's some treasure inside!
What if there's a 1/5 probability?
Should we go down and investigate?
While pondering, Mo Ming first threw down a luminous jade stone, which instantly illuminated the entire bottom of the well.
The space at the bottom of the well is not large, less than ten square meters, and it is completely visible under the light of the luminous jade.
Below is a throne, upon which sits a person, or more accurately, a somewhat decaying skeleton, with his left hand supporting the seat, his right hand holding a small cube, and a scroll-like object at his feet.
There were also some small, sealed jars scattered around it, made of what looked like ceramic.
Mo Ming wasn't sure if it was just his imagination, but he felt the bronze demon-suppressing sword in his hand vibrate slightly.
But upon closer inspection, there's nothing there.
Mo Ming, who was itching to make a move, squinted at the bottom of the well again. There seemed to be some words or symbols engraved on the cube in the skeleton's hand.
It was too far away for Mo Ming to see clearly.
This combination of factors amplified Mo Ming's curiosity to an extreme degree.
Driven by curiosity, he could only turn his attention back to Mengling.
There was no other way; it was easy for him to go down to this depth, but it would be difficult for him to come back up. The only option was to send Mengling down to bring everything back.
Mengling didn't hesitate either; she spun and jumped, and with my eyes closed, I floated down.
A few minutes later, Bian brought up all the items, including the skeleton and the throne, and even the luminous jade that Mo Ming had thrown down for illumination.
"Little Mengling, you're so dedicated! Hahaha..."
Mo Ming patted Meng Ling's little head and praised her.
Having received praise from her owner, Mengling swayed back and forth happily, looking incredibly cute.
A skeleton, a throne, five jars, a scroll, and a cube.
Mo Ming didn't rush to look at the cube with the inscription that he was most interested in; instead, he picked up the scroll first.
The scroll is made of a very soft and high-quality material; otherwise, it wouldn't have survived to this day, even though flesh and blood have decayed.
Mo Ming felt that the skeleton must have been someone extraordinary in life, and among the items, the only one that could possibly prove its identity was this scroll.
Unroll the scroll, and at the very top are two large characters.
Suicide note!
Of course, these two characters are not Chinese characters, but a language and script that Mo Ming has never seen before.
However, under the mechanics of the Misty World, all text has been transformed into a language that survivors can understand.
Just like before in the world chat channel, everyone could understand each other's messages.
Mo Ming interpreted the messages Xiao Rizi sent as being in Chinese.
This translation mechanism is arguably the most user-friendly feature in the world of Mist.

"Although I don't know if anyone will ever see this suicide note, I still wrote it with a sliver of hope and a feeling of guilt."
My name is Mu Zhan, the eighth Demon Suppressor of Moro Star. I should be shouldering the responsibility of eliminating demons and protecting the righteous path, and suppressing all those evil invaders.
However, at the crucial moment, I fell into the devil's trap, causing demonic energy to enter my body, making me unable to fight back.
He intended to end his own life to prevent himself from becoming a demon.
But luckily, while I was still conscious, I found this place, underground, and I found it!
It was engraved with complex and mysterious runes, and the moment I held it, the demonic energy in my body was gradually cleared away.
Although it is unclear where this small bronze seal came from, it has an extremely strong ability to suppress demonic energy.
Immediately, I lured one of the demons, the Bewitching Demon, here and sealed him deep underground using the bronze seal.
Unfortunately, it's such a pity that the bronze seal seems to be incomplete, and the energy within it is insufficient to destroy it.
Therefore, I could only dig a dry well here, intending to use the power of the bronze seal to continue sealing it.
If one day, someone truly destined to come to this place, perhaps we can make an exchange.
It is because I, the great wizard of Moro Star, once prophesied that one day, someone would be able to shoulder the mission of suppressing demons, become the nemesis of those invaders, and wipe them all out.
Within my throne lies a token upon which you can drip your lifeblood. If you are the one I have been waiting for, the token will erase my mark and become entirely yours.
If you are able at that time, please do your best to protect my people!
Mu Zhan bows respectfully!
